The Complete Obama Timeline is a multi-volume set of books covering the life of Barack Obama, from his birth in 1961 to his last day in the Oval Office. Although this Timeline is primarily about Barack Obama, it is also about how the nation has changed dramatically since the 1960s. In following the rise of Obama’s political career one can also observe the decline of the United States. The purpose of this Timeline is two-fold: to relate the story of Obama and to explain how and why he came to power. It will take the nation many years to recover from the devastating actions of Obama and his fellow radicals. It will take even longer if few understand how it all happened. This Timeline is intended to help people understand.
